I went into reading this book with high expectations and those expectations were certainly met! The story of this author is so interesting and the inside look at such an elite force is attention-holding. I have seen the movie "Black Hawk Down" and it was awe-inspiring to read the real, whole, non-Hollywood truth of these events.

The authors managed to convey the true toll that belonging to such an elite group takes on your personal life without making the subject seem pathetic. His love for his country and for his job/calling is apparent on every page. I finished this book feeling proud of my country's fighting forces and grateful that there are such people out there that protect us at all costs.

You cannot go wrong by using your time reading this book. Even if you are not rah-rah patriotic, the detailed look "inside" is more than worth the read.
